"Have you looked at Afghanistan lately?"
Remember what it was like before?
It is estimated that somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 civilians died as a result of coalition military action in Afghanistan.
It is estimated that over 2,000 civilians were massacred by the Taliban in a SINGLE INCIDENT in 1998. If you think the situation described in that link is better than what they are dealing with today, say so. And, of course, even you would have to admit we did have a solid reason for attacking the Taliban.
I'm sorry, but it's really getting hard to avoid the impression that some people think only violence done somewhere in the vicinity of United States forces counts for anything.
